2. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

   A diving weighting system is ballast weight added to a diver or diving equipment to counteract excess buoyancy. They may be used by divers or on equipment such as diving bells, submersibles or camera housings. Divers wear diver weighting systems, weight belts or weights to counteract the buoyancy of other diving equipment, such as diving suits ...

3. Wetsuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetsuit

   The mass will depend on the specific formulation of the foam, but will probably be in the order of 4 kg, for a net buoyancy of about 6 kg at the surface. Depending on the overall buoyancy of the diver, this will generally require 6 kg of additional weight to bring the diver to neutral buoyancy to allow reasonably easy descent.

4. Neoprene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene

   Neoprene is a popular material in making protective clothing for aquatic activities. Foamed neoprene is commonly used to make fly fishing waders, wetsuits, and drysuits as it provides excellent insulation against cold. The foam is quite buoyant, and divers compensate for this by wearing weights. [24]

5. Weighted clothing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_clothing

   Weighted clothing. Two men run on treadmills while wearing 10 kg (20 lbs) weighted vests. Weighted clothing are garments that have heavy materials incorporated into them, to add weight to various parts of the body, usually as part of resistance training. The effect is achieved through attaching weighted pieces to the body (or to other garments ...

6. Dumbbell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbbell

   Dumbbell. A pair of adjustable dumbbells with 2 kg plates. The dumbbell, a type of free weight, is a piece of equipment used in weight training. It is usually used individually and/or in pairs, with one in each hand.

7. Buoyancy compensator (diving) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator_(diving)

   Buoyancy compensator. A buoyancy compensator (BC), also called a buoyancy control device (BCD), stabilizer, stabilisor, stab jacket, wing or adjustable buoyancy life jacket (ABLJ), depending on design, is a type of diving equipment which is worn by divers to establish neutral buoyancy underwater and positive buoyancy at the surface, when needed.
